Garmin-Asus announces nüvifone A50 and M10

Your smartphone has GPS?  Well, my GPS handheld has a cellphone!  Garmin-Asus has released information about two new phones slated to launch under the nüvifone model-line soon, a week ahead of MWC, dubbed the A50 and the M10, rocking Android (version unspecified) and Windows Mobile 6.5.3 respectively.

The A50 is said to have “more location technology than any other smartphone”.  If anyone is to make good on a marketing line such as that, it’d be the folks over at Garmin.  Sporting a 3.5″ HVGA capacitive touchscreen, integrated 4GB Flash drive, microSD card slot, 3 MP camera with auto-focus, and an accelerometer, Garmin places the phone near the top of the middle market Android devices.

“The Garmin-Asus M10 is our answer to people’s need for work-life balance.”  Garmin attempts to cater to the existing Windows Mobile community, and is marketing it as a business oriented device.  Running the latest Windows Mobile 6.5.3, the device touts a 3.5″ WVGA capacitive touchscreen, 512MB RAM, 512 ROM, 4GB of integrated Flash memory, and a 5 MP camera.

Look for these devices to drop in Asian and European markets in the first half of 2010.  No word on US availability.
